New Delhi: Pamela Anderson has urged Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take steps to tackle climate change. The Baywatch beauty has appealed to the PM to promote veganism in India and ban animal-derived foods from all government meetings and functions, as reported by The Times of India.
Expressing her concern over air pollution in Delhi, the actress said India needs to fight against climate change by taking the much-needed steps.
Pamela in her letter to Modi explains how raising animals for meat, eggs, dairy etc causes nearly one-fifth of all human-induced greenhouse gas emmissions. She also said that many other coutries have taken pro-vegan step and India should follow suit.
“I appeal to you to show that India can equal or best them,” she wrote in the letter to PM Modi.
The letter read, “My heart goes out to everyone affected by the severe air pollution plaguing Delhi. I worry about the residents as well as the animals who can’t wear face masks or stay indoors.”
“I know you share my concern for the future, so please lead India’s fight against climate change by taking a simple but forceful, progressive step. Ban animal-derived foods from all government meetings and functions. I am shattered by recent findings of climate change’s impact on India,” she added.
Pamela says India is the easiest place to be vegan. “I still remember the beautiful colour of saffron rice and the alluring aroma of veggie biryani. India’s foods are so fantastic and varied that it’s the easiest place on earth to be vegan.”
